GEN. JACKSON'S DEFENSE.
HE AGAIN REPLIES TO SENATOR
THURMAN.
He Explains How Natural, How Ad-
missable Were the Words of His
Macon Speech-The Whole Thing
Misunderstood.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. ll.-Gcl. Henry
r. jackson, several days ago, wrote let
ter TO ex-senator Thurman, OF Ohio, in
regard TO the attack OF the latter upon him.
He denies he ever was an otlice-seeker, he
denies the charges concerning the Mexican
mission, and again explains his Macon
speech, contending that there was nothing
in it, and concludes as follows: simply
because OF my having made speech
OF such character upon such
an occasion TO an audience OF vet
eran soldiers, called together for
no political purpose whatever, you and the
swarm of insects which have been buz1ing
about my name, delighted, perhaps, in the
thought that they were intiicting upon me
the venom of their sting, have held me up
to the world as the meanly VindictiVc en-
emy OF the Democratic party, prepared To
harm il To the full extent OF my malignant
power. Is it the party OF the
SOUTH ever TO be welcomed back
into the Union by the Democratic
party of the north? Are We TO stand in
perpetual terror OF opening our mouths
anywhere or upon any occasion, to say one
word in commentator Of our past or in
honor Of our dead, or in vindication OF
what We know TO be the truth Of history, lest
We may say something TO injure the Dem
ocratic party? Is il not sufficient that We
have been enstripped il our property, and
of many things far dearer 10 us than
property can ever be? Must We also
consent 10 sink into the abysscs OF
silence our good name Wust we kecpour
peace unless we be prepared TO kiss the
hand that smites us and TO place ourselves
in the rank Of trucking hypocritcs? Must
our children grow up around ms, hearing
at home the fircsidc story of the past and
realizing that their fathers dare not repeat
il in the face OF the world2 Will this be
the school in which TO train them for
the manful discharge of the
grand duties imposed by American civil
zation upon an American citizen. From
time, they begin to perceive and think ior
themselves. Thus TO be crushed to the
dust Ivy the cruel consciousness that, how
ever pure and patriotic their sires may have
been in the opinion of the world, they
were guilty Of an enormous historic crime,
the shadow Of which must rest forever
like black cloud oi ignominy upon the
pride, the hope and the manhood OF thciI
posterity. Rather than this | would, in

OF my fathers, but from my own natiV,
